The Kailroad rate case has un
earthed some pretty damaging
facts in regard to afl'airs in Raleigh.
John C. Drewry, State Senator
from Wake County and President
of the Times Publishing Company,
was the recepient of $4,000 from
the Southern Kail way ostensibly
for advertising for the Company.
But the general impression is the
money was paid as a subsidy, to
buy the influence of Drewry and
the paper for the railroad. I'pon
the heels of this startling discov
ery comes a letter from Mr. Henry
A. Page, of Moore county, to
Josephus Daniels, of the News and
Observer, intimating by questions
that Mr. Daniels received also
large sums from the Seaboard Air
Line for like purposes. So all in
all, it pretty safe to say there is a
whole lot of corruption and graft
of one kind and another going on
at our State Capital. Some years
ago the affairs of (he Atlantic iv:
North Carolina railroad were in
vestigated and enough of the coin
mittee's findings were made known,
to .show a great deal of favoritism
and graft, while the most impor
tant findings of tW committee were
never made public. I'nder the
circumstances it is about time for
North Carolina to elect a Governor
that would make a general house
cleaning at the capital and one
who would give less time and at
tention to partizan politics than
any of our recent Governors have
done.
That was a disgusting perfor
mance in Kaleigh, last Sunday,
when the large audience in the
court room "slopped over" and
applauded the acquittal of the
Rowlands, who were tried for the
murder of KngineerStrange. They
were not proven guilty of the
crime, but a good deal of the tes
timony showed they had been
guilty of improper conduct in sev
eral ways and to applaud their ac
quittal and shower them with
flowers was, to say the least, in
very bad taste. It is a sad com
menitary, when a man and wo
man who had traveled and passed
as man and wife, before they were
married, are thus giren an ovation,
because a jury failed to convict
them of murder.
Doing Business Again.
"When my friends thought I was
about to take leave of this world, on
account of indigestion, nervousness
and general debility." wi
Chisholin, Treadwell, N Y., "and
when it looked as if there was no
hope left, I was persuaded to try
Electric Hitters, and I rejoice to say
that they are curing me. I am now
doing business again as of old. and
am still gaining daily." Best tonic
medicine on earth. Guranteed by
J. E. Shell, drugging 50c.

Skyland Institute.
On Monday, the 7th inst., the
above named institution opened
its doors in the cause of education.
For two years the school has been
closed, much to the regret of the
community, but, owing to unavoid
able circumstances, it Avas deemed
wise to do so, now, however, the
Board of managers have re opened
the school on a sound basis and
haVe sent a band of workers here
who are ready to help our boys
and girls to get a good, practical
educrtion.
The School was opened by the
Principal, who, in a few words
welcomed all and hoped the school
would be a help as in the past.
after which the hvmii "Wonder
ful words of Life" was sung, a
portion of scripture read and
prayer offered by Rev. W. li. Sav
age, another hymn "My Country
TisofThee," was sung by the
audience and Sk viand Institute
was declared open for another ses
sion. The classes were assigned
to their various rooms and their
teachers introduced to them aid
work began in earnest.
The following compose the Fa
culty and school household:
Miss Alice A. Flagg, Principal.
Miss Carrie M. Michael. Asst.
Prin. and head of the High School
Grade.
MissCarria K. Maker, in charge
of the Intermediate Grade.
Miss Esther Kuth Pobards.
Head of the Primary Department.
Mrs. A. r.eatty, Matron.
These ladies will welcome all to
the institute and hope that the
community at large will aid them
by their sympathy and prayers in
the work thev have undertaken
which is to help other christian
workers of this region in the grand
work of education, their motive
an unselfish one. their object to
help others to help themselves.
HolUO ' !.
(Jot from any prescription phar
macist the following:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one half
ounce; Compound Karagon, one
ounce; Compound Syrup flarsapa
rilla, three ounces.
Shake well in a bottle and take a
teaspoonful dose after each meal and
at bedtime.
The above is considered by an eiul
nent authority, who writes in a New
York daily paper, as the finest pre
scription ever written to relieve
Hackache, Kidney Trouble, Weak
Bladder and all forms of Uninary
difficulties. This mixture acts
promptly on the elmiuative tissues
of the Kidneys, enabling them to
filter and strain the nrlc acid and
other waste matter from the blood
which causes Rheumatism.
Some persons who suffer with the
afflictions may not feel Inclined to
place much confidence in this simple
miiture, yet those who have tried
it say the results are simply surpris
ing, the relief being effected without
the slightest injury to the stomach
or other organs.
Mil some and give it a trial. It
certainly comes highly recommended
It is the prescription of an eminent
authority, whose entire reputation,
it is said, was established by it.
A druggist here at home when
asked stated that he could either
supply the ingredients or mix the
prescription for our readers, also
recommends it as harmless.
A man may get a big reputation
for being good when he only de
serves one for being careful.
When a man is suspicious about
your success it is a sign he has
done some bluffing himself.
